    Looks to me that teh GMP air intake is to low..and the rare too high, lolo
    rear wing looks better on the GMP
    Long front and front wheel arch looks better on the RARE imo
    interior details like seatbelts a lot better on the RARE
    Windshield very diferent, not sure wich is more correct

    At least that's easily fixable by either removing or disconnecting the front springs, I can't recall which. It takes a few seconds and makes the model look much better.

    As far as resin goes, I have one of the new AutoArt Toyota 2000GT's and love it. The model's very light, gaps are tight, paint is great and no worry about rash. Hopefully that's the future!

    The one on the right is a red 512M! Yes! I was hoping they would make more liveries.

    hello guys,

    i’d like to ask for your toughts about mg models, atelier car models, v12... i am not sure if it’s the same brand or not.
    they seem to have lots of intersting models in limited quantities, so i’d like to know how is their quality compared to for example bbr. thank you

    BBR is far superior in quality, accuracy and detail. With that said.... BBR still has screwed up accuracy & detail on many of their models, but overall they do deliver very good models. I say, if there is something you like the look of from MG/Atelier then go for it, but if BBR makes the same car in model form then buy theirs instead.

    Yes, this is much, much better than the "P" car models form those others, and the BBR model will be worth buying.
